MUSIC AND DRAmA.
CAUGHT IN A CORNER.

NASuAA IN n IOhNEhs
Mr.. M. B. Curtis and his select company
gave two performances of Caught IN a
Corner, at City Hall, Saturday, under the
auspices of the Portland Wheel Club. Mr..
Curtis was very amusing, as he always is,
but the play is not of the character to de-
light a general audience as "SamI of
Posen" did. In large cities, where there
Is large population embracing great num-
bers OF stock spectators and brokers, the
points Of Caught in Corner can be well
appreciated. In small cities the average au-
dIence don't see SO much point Then again
Mr.. Curtis and Miss De Mer ratified off their
parts SO fast that in the City Hall, with peo-
pie setting on dead level, much of the dia-
logue was a. complete blur. The storm pre-
vented the Wheel Club making financial
success OF the speculation. Mr.. Curtis, Miss
DE Mer and Mr.. Moore were called before
the curtain.
Tomorrow night. Beulah, the Mexican
actress, will appear at Portland Theatre in
her play of Echo" The play is nelo-
drama, busting with incidents, full of ex-
citing situations and flowing with the fire
and vigor of tropical life and passion The
play. affords an excellent opportunity for
and dances impart pleasing relief to the
darker side of the drama. which cannot fail
to be appreciated by the audience.

The Public LIBRARY.

To the Editor of the Press:
How would it meet the ideas of our citi-
zens to save the Old City Hall for public
library? Our public library has already
outgrown its present quarters and the
room soIoccupied is very much needed by
the city for offices, &c. Sooner or later we
must have larger accommodations for our
public library, in which event the city will
have to build or rent suitable rooms at great
expense. Why throw away what we have in
order to pay for it againp READER.

Where Women Vote

TO the Editor Of the Press.
That the world surely moves and is broad
ening its ideas, is evident from the allowing
facts; In England, for the past seventeen
years, the right of suffrage has been exercis-
ed by "householders," l. e. widows and un-
married women. More recently, Scotland
and the Isle of Man have followed in Eng
lands footsteps, and granted suffrage. Now
Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
nave become progressive and given the bal
lot to women. Sweden gives the ballot to
women in municipal affairs, also the right to
vote for electors of the upper council, which
elects the upper chamber. Austria does the
same. By an imperial decree in 1863, women
were given the right to vote at municipal.
provincial and national elections, by choos,
ing some male friend to represent them at
the polls. Russia has, for centuries. allowed
women to vote in the same way for members
Of the municipal council and county assem-
bly,. In the United States, In 1869, the Ter
ritory of Wyoming gave full suffrage to
women. In 1883, Washington Territory did
the same. Twelve States have given school
suffrage, and now comes Kansas, realizing
the necessity of granting more than school
suffrage to her women. All hail to Kansas

Preparations for the Encampment
at Camp Bartlett.

Despite the unfavorable comment which
rade on the Fourth of July has created
among many people, official orders have
been issued for the eIcampment, and foi
more than a week past gang of men have
been at work digging. clearing the field,
making trenches, etc. Contracts for forage,
etc., have been entered with citizens OF
Healdsburg. The camp will be called
Camp Bartlett. in honor Of the Governor.
The First Infantry has purchased thirty
additional wall tents and the Second Ar
tillery has bought complete camp equipage.
with cooking utensils, etc, besides A tents
to the number of eight for each of its eight
companies, and wall tents for its field and
staff officers. General Dimond will issue
orders shortly, giving the time and locality
of the camp. While no definite conclusion
has been arrived at by the commanders, it
is the expressed opinion that each of the
four regiments will take its band to camp,

commanders and quartermasters will go to
Healdsburg 10 lay out the respective regi-
mental camps.
General orders from Sacramento contain
the news that Major General Walter Turn
bull has been placed on the retired list with
the rank of Major General. There are only
two reasons for which an officer can be re-
tired. First, inability to perform active
duties, and second, continuous service for
eight years in the National Guard. General
Turnbull never made application for a
board of surgeons to examine him, nor was
he eight yesrs in the service.
Company ID of tine Second Artillery has
made the following choice of officers: First
Lieutenant Philip Schultz elected Captain;
Second Lieutenant William r. Saxon, pro-
NOTED first Lieutenant; private John L.
Stiltz, elected second Lieutenant. Major
